Nlu started training with the Peleng giants on Tuesday.
Nare said Nlu remains an Orapa United player until negotiations are finalised. “Louw remains Orapa United player and they know that he is training with us. We will have to sit around the table and complete negotiations before our weekend encounter,” Nare said on the sidelines of Gunners training session this week.
The experienced defender has been a game changer at Orapa United. The skilful centre back has on several occasions helped Orapa United keep clean sheets. Mandla Mgadla, who has been with Gaborone United, has joined the Lobatse side.
“We can rise to a better position and that will depend entirely on how good or bad I sign,” Nare said.
Nare further said preparations for the next round are progressing well. “We are progressing well despite issues related to the nature of transfer window. The transfer window is a very busy time for both players and management, but we are coping,” Nare said.
The mentor further said Pako Gaofose has since resumed training after resolving contractual issues.
“I can’t complain. All players have reported to camp and we have lost 10 players due to issues related to contracts. Most of them are out of contract and some have expressed interest of leaving. It is the nature of the transfer window; you lose some players and some will come. We only have one injury, Pako Makopo and Modisaotsile has also experienced a slight knock on the ankle but it is not worrisome,” said Nare.
Nare said his intentions are to sign a goalkeeper, a central defender and a midfielder.
“I want to sign more players since some players here are not ours,” he said.

The Peleng giants sit at position 10 with 21 points from 17 games. They played North West University over the weekend in Mafikeng in a friendly encounter where they defeated the South African Vodacom League side 3-1.
“Our encounter with North West University was a start from the bottom, but our match sharpness was much better,” Nare said. ities that will be used should meet INF standards. Mokgadi says the courts will be fitted with sprang floors and each floor comes at a cost of P2 million each. She said the government is assisting in the procurement of sprang floors.
Mokgadi says if they were allocated the funds they had requested they could have upgraded the BONA courts and the games were going to leave a legacy.
Meanwhile, Mokgadi feels their work is behind schedule and something has to be done to catch up. She says the national team coach should have started preparing the team for the qualifiers.
